Obama says too early to fast-track Ebola drug as he eyes inversion options

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- President Barack Obama said the Ebola virus can be "controllable" with a strong public-health system in place as he declined to commit to fast-tracking an experimental drug under development. He said "it's too soon" to talk about sending drugs to African nations as there wasn't enough data on effectiveness. Speaking after an African summit, Obama said he would prefer legislative action against corporate-tax inversions but is examining what executive action could be taken to "discourage" them.
